[Galaxy S I9000 General] infestedd:
Hello, after a BAD experience with galaxy5800, an "almost" experience with xperia x10(was so many SCARY feedbacks that i sent back without opening the package lol) i end up here!

Hope this phone makes me happy, since i spend more money than i should on it lol!

Well, now about "killing me" ...

I know u guys should seen a question like this a thousand times every week, BUT! i tried to search, and got no success...

I got an Galaxy S Vibrant T959, and besides what i found on google , frontal camera and digital TV, is there any diference from i9000? well, im a custom stuff *****.... can i use same roms, fixes, etc as i9000 or should i search specific?

That's it! hope i have a good time here, after 1 month of bad experience with i5800(lack of hardware and update) and the terrifing experience with x10 (that was the biggest complain per hour i have ever seen!)

Bye and thanks

I thought we would be able to use the nexus s as a credit/debit card after 2.3.3...... But in the write tags section, i dont see anywhere that says an option like it

:-(

[Nexus S General] sadkorean34:
Even if NFC receives the function of credit/debit card, we must first think about in what places will they receive it. I'm sure movie theater and public big corporation markets will adopt the payment of NFC soon, but I still think we should give it sometime first.
[Nexus S General] xdahd2:
But meanwhile I would love 2 use it where I can...most places do read nfc enabled cards. So how could ot be possible to write on a.credit card?

Maybe get the unknown file the nfc chip reads, then write it as a nfc read only file, then try to use it somewhere?

[Nexus S General] sadkorean34:
so far, it works on public transportation.

I'm sure the adaptation to public market will come soon.
[Nexus S General] ravidavi:
You misunderstood. The 2.3.3 update allows DEVELOPERS to add NFC read/write capabilities to their apps. This means that VISA, Mastercard, and other credit card companies can now write apps that use NFC to process payments. We will no doubt see such apps soon.

The default NFC capabilities in 2.3.3 are just for unencrypted transactions like business card trading and such. Credit card transactions, as you can imagine, must be treated with much more sensitivity, and as such only the credit card companies can make those apps.
[Nexus S General] ozone89:
You need your bank to release an app allowing the phone to access your account and then create the transaction, PROVIDE ENCRIPTION and so on...

Think about this: if the functions has been embedded, anyone "tagging" you would be able to trigger them, let alone that you could mispressing the "pay" button :eek:

Moreover, acting as a credit card is not about writing a tag, but emulating one.

In short: is the phone that allows the shop to read your card, not you writing your bank info to their POS

Be patient :)
[Nexus S General] xdahd2:
:x

Can't wait to spend money with my phone!!

I just started working, so I just opened a bank account!!!!

But then again, not so thrilled with the ongoing bugs.... "/

[Nexus S General] thechocobn:
Hey there,

I live in Australia, banks are rolling-out NFC for payments <$100, they call it PayPass, and I love it. All 7Elevens have it, burger places and cinemas are leading the move as well. It's super fast, just wave your payment card, light goes green within less than a second and that's it!

My NS detects the NFC tags in my payment cards, it just says something like "unknown tag". But I thought that the NS was only a NFC reading unit, don't know if you can program a tag into it -which is pretty much what we need to make a payment I guess.

Cheers.
[Nexus S General] ishkibble:
This was the first thing I thought of when I got this phone. Use nfc to pay for stuff. All we need is for visa or your bank to make an app then plug your card number in and done. Nfc readers are becoming very widespread, vivotech is a big one, Google them and nfc. Its only a matter of time now.
[Captivate General] .Candy:
Hey guys. I'm actually relatively new on the forums, though I've had my Captivate since December last year. I have been using ROMs from these forums since the third day I had my phone, I just never registered.

Anyway, I just feel I should make a post thanking everyone. Mostly MikeyMike01 and ChanceM, because the third ROM I ever flashed was Serendipity. And I've been using Serendipity since then. I have indeed flashed things in between, but the longest I've ever had a non-Serendipity ROM on my phone has been less than an hour. So it's safe to say that Serendipity is a physical part of my phone now... In fact, since I'm getting the HTC Inspire, my brother is getting my Captivate (his first Android phone), and the ROM that I pre-loaded for him is Serendipity 5.12. That's how much I trust/love this ROM.

Anyway, does anyone have any opinions on the HTC Inspire? I remember seeing one other person in these forums who switched to the same phone, saying that it seemed like a more sturdy phone.

I will thoroughly miss these Captivate forums though. Thanks are as follows:

MikeyMike01

ChanceM

existz (I use SuckerPunch-Voodoo)

Samsung (LOL I use the KP1 modem, dunno who to thank for this one)

Anyone else who has some sort of mod on my phone.
[Captivate General] jc2470:
its way faster and way more enjoyable, I wouldnt go back for nothing u will definately like it.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
I couldn't justify spending $500 on a software upgrade.

The SGS2 seems interesting though. Have to find a place to import it fit a reasonable price... The international version is completely AT&T compatible.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate General] alex4lex:
but...it's made by samsung!
[Captivate General] ryude:
We've already proven that Samsung isn't the problem, its at&t. The i9000 already getting gingerbread.
[Captivate General] daleaf:
That doesn't change how poorly Samsung codes their ROMs..
[Captivate General] ryude:
I think Samsung does a decent job, the i9000 roms are pretty close to perfect without any mods.
[Captivate General] tysj:
I wouldn't push it that far.... :p

After weighing all the pros and cons of the Galaxy S series and the upcoming 2 (talking about the internation/original here), the Galaxy S 2 will most likely be my next device. Decent build, decent software, hardware is top notch, and that screen is something I can't drop now that I've stared at it for so long. Knowing that the international Galaxy S 2 works with AT&T's HSPA+ bands without modifications is also a deciding factor.
[Captivate General] rockingx10:
please help me out. I'm with rogers canada they are sending me iphone 4. There is no way ill use or open it cause of previous experience. So I'm gonna sell it for 500. Now if you had to buy any of this phone which you would get? Atrix, sgs2, dhd, or nexus s. DHD already available here and nexus s and atrix coming this month. Sgs2 heard somewhere at&t version will be available. So which you would get?
[Captivate General] .Candy:
So I've heard.

I'd never pay that much for a phone. I'm buying it because my father's iPhone 4 is now eligible for upgrade, but he doesn't want a new phone so we're using his upgrade for mine.

Agreed for the most part. AT&T held back the Froyo ROM without a doubt for stupid reasons, but we aren't sure if the i9000 is actually getting Gingerbread. Yeah, it was leaked, but so was Froyo way back when. I understand that Froyo wasn't released for our phone mostly because of AT&T, but you can't be so sure; it's still just a "leak".

Not true at all. Serendipity is the closest I've found to perfect, but it's still a ROM. From experience and from hearing other people speak about the Inspire, you don't really even need to put a ROM on the HTC Inspire 4G for it to be perfect. I'm definitely going to flash something (maybe something that'll remove Sense UI, I'm not sure if I'll like it), but most of the features in the ROMs are already found on the phone as stock.

I would not get the DHD. I have a friend who has it, and it's just overhyped. It's not as good as everyone makes it seem.

The Nexus S is pretty much like this phone in which you'll have the same amount of development. The hardware may be different in technical respects, but the same in user experience.

The SGS 2 isn't released yet, but when it is, it's going to be a great phone. If it was already released, I'd consider buying it, but I'm not going to wait for it to come out.

The Atrix is somewhat overkill, but if you're entering college or have a need for a netbook/small laptop with basic features (e-mail, Facebook, etc.), then the Atrix is for you. It's just expensive, even with a contract.

Also, please post questions in the Q&A forum; that's why it's there.
[Captivate General] shadow65781:
Try Cognition 4.1 on your captivate. You won't be disappointed.

The Inspire kicks ass.
[Captivate General] TheBassman369:
Between CM7 and MIUI on the Inspire it blows anything and everything out of the water in the Captivate/i9000 forums. After seeing how Samsung utterly destroys their phones with Touchwiz, I'll never buy a Samsung phone again.

Go with the Inspire and you will not be disappointed.
[Captivate General] phonex1:
So DHD is not that good but inspire 4G is recommended? it's a bit confusing. Isn't the inspire 4G just a DHD with another name? Is there something I am missing?
[Captivate General] eramming:
The inspire is a downgrade hardware wise. Should of held out for something more amazing that's coming out this year. If it doesn't have a dual core I'm not interested.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
They are basically the same phone. So that suggestion doesn't make much sense...

Inspire is a downgrade in hardware but upgrade in software. Add to that the rooting is quite a pain compared to the captivate...
[Captivate General] .Candy:
Ohhhhh I thought you were talking about a phone that doesn't exist (Droid HD anyone?).

Anyway, yes, the phones are almost completely similar. It's just that the DHD is European, I believe.

How so? It has a lower pixel density and a Super LCD, which are both a downgrade, but I don't watch videos on my phone. Otherwise, how is it a downgrade? It has 700 somewhat MB of RAM, gets amazing Quad and Linpack scores compared to the Captivate (I don't base opinions on benchmarks, though), and Sense UI, though I might not use Sense...
[Captivate General] sanjeezy91:
the insipire isnt much of an upgrade. did u already get it? i personally would still take my captivate over it
[Captivate General] phonex1:
I honestly can't see any of the current phones destroy the captivate in functionality and flexibility except for the nexus S. Pure google + decent specs.
[Captivate General] jc2470:
The inspire blows cap away in speed, everyone in inspire forums will tell u that and almost all of them are previous captivate owners and switched to it, even blows the atrix away, call it a downgrade or whatever put whatever spin u like on it and its still the top phone to beat. and it works out of the box the radio even works great, i get no random shut downs my battery consumption is better then cappy, I dont get lag at all, it will load any program faster and run it better then the cappy did, watch a video on youtube about it, http://www.smartphoneenvy.com/featured/face-off-htc-inspire-4g-vs-samsung-captivate/ and yes no doubt there will be more better phones out this year same as 6 months from then there will be even more, with my 6 month early upgrade it cost me 300 to get it which I certainly can live with, in 6 months i will get another of the better phones out of the time.
[Captivate General] TheBassman369:
I gave my Cap to my aunt. I have Serendipity 5.12 on it and MIUI on my Inspire. I have around 75 apps on the Inspire and it booted quicker, unlocked quicker, and the notification bar pulled down with no lag at all.

I was running CM7 on it and it was even faster than that.

The screen difference isn't that big of a deal, either, and I've stared at the SAMOLED screen since last August.
[Captivate General] .Candy:
Okay, you seem to be the most eligible person then to ask about this phone.

And to everyone else, yes I have already gotten my Inspire.

Anyway, to the person I'm replying to; how do you initially flash CM7 and what issues does it have on the Inspire?

And the same question for MIUI. And how could I get back to stock from either of the two.

Just be sure to answer the questions assuming that the phone is like it would be out of the box. The people over in the Inspire forums don't seem to be as awesome as the people who participate in the Captivate forums. That was actually something that I factored in my decision to get this phone; how nice the people seemed (;

[Hero, G2 Touch General] wesley sun:
yesterday ,i flashed my hero from RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_3.34.721.1 to RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_AUS_3.39.710.1,Then i found i can't flash other ruu,It encounters an error:bootloader version error:140,I think may be 3.39 is the higher version,can anyone do me a favor to downgrade my phone?

Anyone knows how to solve this problerm?

SOS~~

PS:I can root it now,but still can't flash other ruu lower than 3.39.

Already fixed,I flash the unlocked SPL,then can flashed any type RUU .

If you have the same problerm.just try unlock your phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wesley sun:
Anyone knows ?

Maybe i need to flash unlocked SPL?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wesley sun:
OK,I will take a risk to flash the unlocked SPL firstly,God bless.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
You can use a goldcard.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wesley sun:
Yes,I did have a gold card.But still can't downgrade.Still only can flash the RUU 3.39.I think gold card only help us get pass the CID check,It dose not help get through Bootloader version check.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Goldcard certainly used to allow it.

Maybe that changed?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wesley sun:
It seems that gold card can help upgrade but can't downgrade.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdejager:
Well I had my gold card once to, and went from 1.6 to 1.5 so. It works for down to. but that has been a long time ago XD
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wesley sun:
Maybe i can try downgrade from 2.1 to 1.5
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wesley sun:
Now My phone has been s-off,Waitting to flash the lower version ruu
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wesley sun:
Lucky,It works.Now i can flash any ruus.:D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] godovic:
I can't download to any rom from RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_PL_3.35.118.1_Radio_63.18.55.06P_6.35.15.14_release_133933_signed

goldcard doesnt help me.. I used coldcard to install this ROM from Elenix, but cannt change to other ROM regular rom.. this one has no t-mobile logo, shows some ERA animated logo
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stefpaul:
Confused

Why use an original ROM when you can use a custom one that is 10x faster...

and why downgrade tot 1.5 when 2.1 is 50% faster?:confused:
[Nook Color General] mixomatosys:
So I just rooted my nookcolor, got it working perfectly except for two keyboard related issues:

1. Whenever I select to use the gingerbread keyboard, no keyboard appears when I click on a data field.

2. When I click on 'Keyboard Settings' in the settings menu, it crashes to the home screen. I'm really just trying to turn off the setting that shows the pop-up when a key is pressed.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
[Nook Color General] mixomatosys:
Okay so I've solved the first issue by installing the gingerbread keyboard apk, however I'm still running into the second issue. I cannot for the life of me access my keyboard settings, whenever I clicked it the screen just crashes to the home screen. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there an APK for settings that I could replace to get this working?
[Nook Color General] awayteam:
Keyboard

Look in the extras area for NookColor Tools

It's a screwed up place to put the keyboard selection but it's there!!
[Nook Color General] mixomatosys:
Thanks for the reply however I do not see an 'Extras' section. I've looked in both the Nookcolor Tools and the regular NookColor settings. I see the 'Keyboard' settings that crashes on me, however I don't see an 'Extras'. Could you point me in the right direction?
[Nook Color General] mixomatosys:
Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I know what you're talking about. However, that's not my issue. My issue is that when I click on 'Keyboard Settings' inside of settings, it crashes to home. I want to set my keys to not pop up when i type.
[Nook Color General] slim150:
I also have a newly rooted NC and am having Keyboard issues too. (I just saw this thread as I was posting my own). I have the same issue of it crashing when you try and look at the settings. I also had the same issue with the GingerBread keyboard not showing up in a text field. I uninstalled it because I think it is broke.

I have been working with trying to get Japanese Keyboards to work with the nook so here is what you might want to do. It is ass backwards.. but its how I've been doing it to get keyboards to show up when I try to use them.

- Download a new/different gingerbread APK

- If you install it.. i bet you won't be able to select it from the keyboard list.. even after restart.

- Make sure in NookColorTools the check box is checkd for allowing 3rd party apps (if the bottom fails you might need to uncheck it and recheck it)

- Buy Root Explorer

- navigate in RE to the mysterious /data/app/ folder and find the apk that you

downloaded.. and copy it.

- navigate to /system/app/ and push the button at the top to allow writing of files.

paste the apk into this directory.

- hold in the file and it will prompt to install it.

- it might ask to replace existing ... say OK.

- Install successful.. now you will see the keyboard to choose from.
[Nook Color General] mixomatosys:
I was able to solve my gingerbread keyboard problem by just re-downloading the apk and pushing it to /system/apps/. after that i was able to select it and it's working just fine now.

however, my only problem now is accessing keyboard settings. it just always crashes to home screen. all i want to do is set the pop up on keyboard to off!
[Nook Color General] mixomatosys:
bump! anyone?!
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
All credit goes to freakfingers12 and obsessionXYZ for actually making this amazing theme! Also thanks to mob87+crew over at the fascinate forum for porting it which allowed me to port it to EB16.

I'm going to be putting in some time making my own edits too, most of the applications aren't themed yet.

UPDATED! - This is the honeycomb live wallpaper (free in market) and the honey beautiful widget clock located here that doesn't look quite like the one in their post but I kind of like it :)

Made some of my own edits, also borrowed from edint cuz his wicked android guy rocks!:

This is what it looks like if you apply the puzzle lock standalone after the theme (I need to make a small edit, for some reason they black out the top half of the lock in the port I did, so I will be changing that when I get time - I plan on trying to edit out the puzzle pattern to a honeycomb pattern, then possibly changing the circle lock to fit the honeycomb pattern but I may not be able to so we will see);

[Samsung Mesmerize] mkemvp:
Will you have this theme available also for EA11 Rom users?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
It could be ported fairly easily, we will see how my time goes.

Lately I haven't had much time so I haven't gotten really far, but here is what I have so far. I grabbed the Xoom boot animation and included it in the .zip, it's very awesome hope you guys like it. (seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vCYj3aiQE4)

The SMS app has a small tweak still needing to be made, when you search for a contact it is black on black text and so you can't read it until you press on it, so if you don't want to use the sms app, just pull that .apk file out of the .zip before you flash it.

You need to be on pnp before flashing this, and to see the boot animation you have to be using the EA11 voodoo kernel.

I also suggest using the free honeycomb ADW theme available on the market, it's a nice compliment. I will update soon as I get time to theme some more apps.

Here is the download, make sure you disable lag fix before flashing (can be re-enabled after of course)

[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
would you mind if i hijack your battery bar for my theme?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I grabbed mine off of the Zedge app, if you have trouble finding it I can try to pull it off later and upload.

Thanks, glad you like what I chose to port :), the original themers' did a great job on the framework.

Of course not bro, go for it :).
[Samsung Mesmerize] spilky1224:
Besides turning off voodoo, do you have to wipe dalvic?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Never hurts anything. Might as well to be safe.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Wiping dalvik is just a failsafe method, typically anymore you don't have to even take that step but it is recommended. (just to make sure there are no issues)
[Samsung Mesmerize] spilky1224:
Awesome. Thanks. Keep up the great work

In reference to the sms app, you do mean the mms.apk in the zip file correct?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Yeah, sorry mms.apk
[Samsung Mesmerize] 123SIT:
No worries, the only reason I asked is because I flashed back to DarkFroyo, then deleted the mms.apk from the HoneyFroyo zip, then reflashed honey and the text dropdown issue still exists.

I love this ROM on my W8, however I've come across a small problem. I can't access dualtouch on my phone anymore. I tried using x8toolbox and installing multitouch. It just installs the visualiser. i cant seem to get dual touch in it. Please do help. Thank you in advance:highfive:
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
Huh, I learned something interesting while talking to Tech Support, I don't know if this is true but this is supposed to de-fragment your RAM Memory.

1. Power off your phone and pull out your battery.

2. Press and hold the power button for about a minute.

3. Let go of the power button after a minute and let it sit for 30 seconds.

4. Insert the battery, power on, and let us know if you know any difference whatsoever. (It worked somewhat for me.)
